Stanford & Third Sector Partner With State & Local Governments To Simplify Economic Opportunity Program Evaluation

The Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality and Third Sector Capital Partners have joined with three state and local governments to make it easier to evaluate programs that may increase economic opportunity. In order to simplify program evaluations, a big data infrastructure that links new federal, state, and local administrative data sets was developed to better measure program results and improve program services. With the new big data resource, agencies receiving the awards will have the ability to measure both short- and long-term effects of their programs.
